[Woodcarver] Congress

[Sandy Holder]

Hi Chris,
So glad you included our Roundup in your plans, what a wonderful pleasure to 
meet you. Your workshops were very well attended and everyone just raved 
over your carving instruction. The swine barn will never be the same now 
that all you Southerners have graced it's walls! I too very much enjoyed Ol' 
Don and Sandie's hospitality, and his musical talent and singing, besides 
his carving talents. Ol' Don, Tony, and Harold made a great trio. We are 
looking forward to your return next June 15-18th. All three also had good 
attendance in their workshops. This years Roundup was the best ever.

Someday I hope to be able to attend the Congress and check out Crazy Horse 
Monument.

See you again in a few weeks at the Northeast Roundup.
